4 . Ten years ago, I set out to study luck. I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others always experience ill luck.
Many people volunteered for my research. Over the years I interviewed them, watched their lives and had them take part in my experiments (实验).
I carried out a simple experiment to discover why there were differences in their ability to spot (发现) opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photos were inside.
I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying, “Tell the researcher you have seen this and win $50.” This message took up half of the page and was more than two inches (英尺) high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but unlucky people tended to (倾向) miss it and lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are just more nervous than lucky people. They are busy looking only for what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected. As a result, they miss out on opportunities.
Lucky people tend to be more relaxed and open. They can see everything that is in front of them, rather than just what they are looking for.
My research shows that lucky people live by several principles (原则). Here are some of these principles: Listen to your gut instincts (直觉) —they are often right. Be open to new experiences and break your normal thought patterns. Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well. See yourself being lucky before an important meeting or phone call.

5 . Sitting in the garden, Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon-circling the earth. Newton believed it did. He called it “gravity (重力)”.
This story has become one of the most popular examples of “eureka” moments. But when we cheer for the great discovery, the whole process of creative thinking shouldn’t be forgotten.
Newton studied mathematics for long to have a better understanding of the world. He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work before. It also started the train of thought that continued for the next twenty years.
Newton began to examine “gravity” carefully. He experimented. Then he studied the results and used what he had learned to do new experiments. In 1687, the greatest scientific work ever written came out.
The whole process of creative thinking works the same in our life. In school, we prepare ourselves for the right moment. Once the moment comes, we catch it and then keep on working in the years to come. It takes much to get the fruits of creative thinking, but the sweetest fruits will be ready for those who wait the longest.
1. What does the underlined word “eureka” mean? ________A.I’ve got it. | B.I give up. | C.I’ve no idea. | D.I believe it. |
a. He caught the right moment.
b. He did experiments over and over.
c. He saw an apple fall from a tree.
d. He studied mathematics for long.
A.a-c-d-b | B.b-a-c-d | C.a-b-c-d | D.d-c-a-b |
A.Creative thinking is a short moment. |
B.Pleasure comes from a great discovery. |
C.A great discovery happens suddenly. |
D.Success goes to those who work and wait. |
A.By raising questions. |
B.By giving examples. |
C.By listing numbers. |
D.By explaining differences. |
We all have those moments when bright ideas hit us.
Newton studied math for long to have a better understanding of the world. He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems.
A.Newton believed it did. |
B.So we should pay attention to them. |
C.Let’s look at what happened in l666. |
D.The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work. |
E.The whole process of creative thinking works the same in our life. |
F.But not everyone can develop them into the fruits of creative thinking. |
7 . Deng Jiaxian was a Chinese physicist, known as the Father of China’s Atomic Bomb(原子弹). Born in Anhui Province, Deng attended the National Southwestern Associated University in 1941 and went to America for a further study in physics. He studied a lot and got much useful knowledge.
After Deng’s graduation, he didn’t accept the high-paid positions and superb research conditions provided by the American government or universities. Instead, he returned to Beijing in 1950 to work on nuclear research(核能研究).
Deng faced great difficulties at that time because there was no such research information to learn from and few scientists. He worked with a group of recent college graduates and used abacuses for calculation. It took about a month to finish a stage of calculation and about a year to calculate it nine times.
For about eight years Deng worked very hard at the Gobi Desert nuclear testing site in northwest China.
In October 1964, under Deng’s leadership, China successfully tested its first atomic bomb. In June 1967, China’s first hydrogen bomb test was also carried out successfully. In 1979, a parachute failure happened during one experiment, which caused an atomic bomb to crash to the ground but it did not set off. Deng knew the danger in cleaning up the crashed bomb. “You are young; you can’t go to do this, ” Deng said to his colleagues. So he picked up the broken pieces of the bomb himself instead of sending his team.
Deng’s wife, a doctor, learned that Deng had touched the broken pieces of the atomic bomb, and ordered him to return to Beijing for a full body checking. The results showed that he had been badly hurt by deadly nuclear radiation(辐射). However, he still chose to return to the test site and continued to solve the problem himself.
In 1986, at age 62, Deng passed away because of the radiation. As a national hero, he was awarded the Two Bombs and One Satellite Merit Medal in 1999.
1. When was Deng Jiaxian born?A.In 1941. | B.In 1924. | C.In 1920. | D.In 1950. |
A.silent | B.excellent | C.different | D.patient |

Science is the best way we have of finding out about the world. Scientists have ideas about the way things work. Science tests those ideas. Sometimes the test will show that the idea is not correct. If the idea passes the test, it adds to our understanding.
Scientists make predictions (预言). They say something about the future. They might say ‘if I do this, then I think that will happen’. Isaac Newton was a famous scientist. When he shone white light through a glass prism, he saw a spectrum (光谱) of different colors. Newton predicted what would happen if he shone the spectrum through a second prism. He thought the colors would come together and he would see white light again. He tried it. He shone a spectrum through a second prism. He was right. The colors made white light. He discovered that white light is made up of many colors.
It’s important to test your ideas. It’s important to plan a fair test. A scientist wondered how a tree grows. Where does all that material come from? Was it from the soil?
He planted a young tree in a pot. He weighed the pot, the dry soil and the tree at the start of his test. Years later, the tree had grown tall. It had many branches and leaves. The scientist dug it up. He weighed it. The tree weighed far more than when it was young. Then he weighed the pot and the dry soil. It weighed just a bit less. Where had all the new tree material (材料) come from? He knew that trees use water, and a gas from the air, to grow.
